Cristina was of Brazilian origin, reported Le Temps, and many from the town's Brazilian community were among the mourners.

“It's important to us to be here,” one woman, Edila Wagniere, told the Tribune.

“The ordeal that has hit us can hit anyone, when you least expect it, because it's an act of madness that goes against good sense and our religion, any religion,” she said.

In a statement, Yverdon authorities offered their “support and sincere condolences” to the family and said they were taking measures to support the family both in Nice and on their return to Switzerland.

They also thanked the local community for the “many acts of support and solidarity”.

A third victim from Switzerland – a 54-year-old woman from Ticino – was the first to be confirmed killed in the attack.
